Sorry to post again :) but I just saw the poo from my pullet and it looks totally normal. She's eating a little. I'm going to give her more scrambled egg & cut up grapes, which she seems to like. My white hen is scratching around but still a bit slow. Perhaps antibiotics are the way to go?
Should I give that to the whole flock? I will see if I can track down a med other than terrymycin... but we do live a rural place and some things are hard to get.

She's back in the cage with a light now, and I just realized that my terrymycin expired 8/11. And I'm not sure how the dosage works for only a gallon of water. I will get to the feed store late this afternoon, but in the meantime, but I know they don't carry Tylan and only terrymycin. I do have Sulmet on hand. What should I do?

Only a few thick brownish/greenish ones. No one's crops seem big either, no one's sneezing, and I didn't see the liquid come out of the pullet's mouth this morning(but I haven't been watching her as closely yet). I'm assuming I've either got a cocci problem or some sort of virus that'll need antibiotics.
